DownloadPlease try the new version piCorePlayer 2.06.
This is a bug-fix version. A major part of the underlying code has been rewritten, but the appearance have not changed much.
Changes piCore updated - where the libstdc++ exception bug is fixed. Improved ALSA settings on the Squeezelite page. Fixed the issue when trying to move LMS cache to attached Fat based USB disk. Improved the update process further. Numerous small bug-fixes. NotePlease notice that you will need to install this version from 2.
DownloadPlease try the new version piCorePlayer 2.05.
The pCP Team is happy to release this new version, with special focus on LMS integration and managing attached USB-disk.
Changes Added a [LMS update] button, so it is very easy to update LMS to the most recent nightly version. Added options to mount hard disks. Added options to move the cache and preferences to mounted drive - otherwise piCorePlayer would be using your SD card, but it might be safer to use a mounted disk.
Please try the new version piCorePlayer 2.04
Changes Support for RPi3B. Supports the onboard Wifi on RPi3B. No need for external USB Wifi dongle any longer (on RPi3B). Update kernel to 4.1.20. Updated piCore to 7.1 beta3. Improved LMS/pCP control tabs. A new tweak for problematic USB DACs - might help if USB DAC looses connection after prolonged use. The pCP Team

Great news. Paul from the TinyCore and Lyrion forums has joined the pCP Team. Thanks to him, Lyrion Media Server (LMS) can now be installed and run on your piCorePlayer.
This means that pCP now can be used as:
Standalone pCP player (as usual). Standalone LMS server - it is very easy to setup a LMS server on your Raspberry Pi (RPi1 or RPi2).
DownloadPlease try the new version piCorePlayer 2.02
Because of changes at sourceforge you will have problems updating directly - so you need to apply the Sourceforge fix which is described here: Squeezebox forum before being able to update to pCP 2.02.
Changes Sourceforge fixes. Enhanced ALSAequal sliders with number, and more robust selection of card number and selection of “equal”. Jivelite piCorePlayer applet update. Improved insitu_update, so now it won’t overwrite user customization.
DownloadPlease try the new version piCorePlayer 2.01.
We have many ideas on how to improve pCP in the coming months. For now we have included a ALSA equaliser, which you can enable and control from within pCP.
Changes ALSA equalizer can be enabled. This is especially important for you if you use a integrated amplifier such as the HiFiBerryAMP or IQaudIO AMP, as these amplifiers don’t have a equalizer. Thanks to Gerrelt for making the ALSA equalizer package.
Hi all.
We are ready to release a major update to piCorePlayer - so we decided to call it version 2.00 and start a new thread. The old thread is huge and has been read more than 700.000 times, therefore it is time for a new thread. So thank you all for your continued interest and support.
Major changes are Only one version of piCorePlayer, but it can now run on all known Raspberry Pi boards.
